Why bet on the Washington Nationals?

The Washington Nationals enter the stage with an 18-33 record this season. They are in a tough spot and have lost three of their last four games.

The team’s offense scored 206 runs so far to go with a .254 batting average and a .320 on-base percentage.

Juan Soto is among the productive outfielder for the side with a .232 batting average on top of nine home runs and 16 RBIs this season. We are likely to see Evan Lee start for the Nationals and make his first-ever appearance this season.

As a team, the Nationals average 4.12 runs per game while giving up 5.34 runs per game. Their offense needs more work at 18th overall in the league while their pitching staff ranks 28th best at the moment.

New York enters the game as favorites but you can’t overlook what the Nationals are capable of. If they get their stride back, we might just see the game swinging on their side. We also forecast major changes happening in the Nationals’ lineup come game day, which introduces more variables and keeps the Mets on their toes.
